Inspiration
I am in IIT (Integrated Information Technology), and I felt like the hardware category could be loosely be used. Like for example a security application, since I would rather do a idea that I can test on my own system than use simulated data.
What it does
When a USB is plugged in, it will prompt you if you want it to be used, and you can decline it or accept it but you accept the potential malicious flash drive that could hold harmful code.
How we built it
I used Claude as a start to create the baseline then built upon it then fixed or added upon the code.
Challenges we ran into
Claude would make error inside the code which made it unable to be ran, so I had to fix the code to be used in the way I wanted it to.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Be able to make a demo of a potential usable application used in the real world.
What we learned
I learned how to use Flask to host a website for the security logs on localhost. "127.0.0.1"
What's next for USB Checker
To be used for business operations inside of company for example like using it to protect a server rack from a malicious threat actor that got past physical security and is trying to stop company operations or to damage hardware with malicious code on a Flash Drive.
